As the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, I almost daily communicate with the Ombudsperson of the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova and with the Chairman of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights under the President of the Russian Federation Mikhail Fedotov. I am trying to get all the information about the conditions of detention and the condition of our guys.
